JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars traded for quarterback Quinn Ewers on Saturday, sending a sixth-round pick in 2028 to the Miami Dolphins for the second-year player, the teams announced.
Ewers, 23, played in four games last season and completed 66.3% of his passes for 622 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions. The Dolphins went 1-2 in Ewers' three starts.
The Dolphins selected Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft, and he made the initial 53-man roster as the team's emergency third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. He got his first NFL action during a blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns midway through his rookie season, completing 5 of 8 passes for 53 yards, including a 40-yard completion to Dee Eskridge.
Ewers reverted back to the team's third-string quarterback after the game but earned his first start in Week 16 when Tagovailoa was benched. He went 1-2 in three starts to close the season, including a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he completed 14 of 22 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns.
